As part of the Space’s Spring Season, OddServants theatre company are looking for a crack team of writers to work in response to The Domestic Extremists by Dan Davies. Opening at the Space February 10th, this new Arts Council Funded play is an uncompromising expose of how the media struggle to cover real dissent. We are looking for four Extreme Response plays to show case in an afternoon performance on Sunday February 22nd.

Then write your 15 minute play in response and submit it to the OddServants@gmail.com before midday, February 15th. The producers will then pick four to be performed at the Extreme Response performance 4pm February 22nd.
What to submit: Your play must be brand new and inspired by The Domestic Extremists. It must have a contemporary setting and feature a maximum of three characters.
